If you are doing mapper 30 carts you might like this one!
https://www.tindie.com/products/t1lt/ca ... cartridge/
People have been requesting a production Mapper 30 flash cart programmer too. I kind of always thought this base was covered by 8bitheroes already but maybe there is still a need?

If you're willing to source your own components, do the soldering, and flash the chips, there's Muramasa and MouseBiteLabs.
Otherwise, there are a lot of N8 variants floating around (never tried them myself). There's also a "nes flashkit" on aliexpress I haven't seen before.

I would not recommend the kazzo flashcarts sold on aliexpress - the NROM one I and a few others got seem to be badly made to the point of being unusable. See here: viewtopic.php?p=303940#p303940

If you just need one GTROM board for testing/dev, I got permission from Joe to resell them individually to make the process simpler for acquiring one: https://www.bitethechili.com/developer-resources/

How do you reprogram them, or are they the kind that take an sd card?
